- NGINX maintains very high throughput (≈8K req/s) under both 10K and 40K concurrent connections.
- NeuroHTTP delivers ~2.6K req/s, but transfers 6× more data per request (≈7.9 MB/s vs 1.2 MB/s).
- This indicates that NeuroHTTP serves heavier or more data-rich responses while keeping stability.
| Server | Avg Latency | p50 | p75 | p90 | p99 | Max Latency |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| NGINX (10K) | 114.95 ms | 109.3 ms | 113.4 ms | 118.0 ms | 335.7 ms | 1.99 s |
| NGINX (40K) | 116.88 ms | 109.5 ms | 114.5 ms | 120.9 ms | 293.1 ms | 1.98 s |
| NeuroHTTP (10K) | 57.32 ms | 46.2 ms | 48.2 ms | 55.4 ms | 443.1 ms | 1.94 s |
| NeuroHTTP (40K) | 63.35 ms | 45.6 ms | 47.9 ms | 55.3 ms | 547.8 ms | 2.00 s |
Observations:
- NeuroHTTP shows significantly lower average latency (≈50–60 ms) compared to NGINX (≈115 ms).
- Despite fewer requests/sec, latency distribution is tighter, suggesting more predictable response times.
- NGINX achieves higher throughput but with more variable latency under heavy concurrency.
| Server | Transfer/sec | Description |
|---|---|---|
| NeuroHTTP | 7.9 MB/s | Larger, AI-driven responses; stable under high concurrency |
| NGINX | 1.2 MB/s | Optimized for lightweight static assets |
⚡ NeuroHTTP transfers ≈6× more data/sec despite lower request counts — a sign of high payload efficiency.
| Server | Strengths |
|---|---|
| NGINX | • Proven scalability to 40K+ connections • Excellent raw throughput • Ideal for static & cached content • Industry-standard reverse proxy |
| NeuroHTTP | • Extremely stable latency under pressure • Optimized for dynamic / AI workloads • High data throughput per connection • Built entirely in C + Assembly (bare-metal efficiency) |
| Server | Requests/sec | Language | Framework |
|---|---|---|---|
| NeuroHTTP (current build) | ~2,590 | C + ASM | Custom (no framework) |
| Express.js | ~1,500 | Node.js | Express |
| Flask | ~800 | Python | Flask |
| Gin | ~3,000 | Go | Gin |
Insights:
- NeuroHTTP outperforms Express.js and Flask, and approaches Gin, one of Go’s fastest frameworks.
- Built at a lower level (C + ASM), it achieves this performance with direct system calls and zero external dependencies.
Even at 40,000 concurrent connections, NeuroHTTP remained stable, with:
- p99 latency < 600 ms
- No write errors
- <0.5% read timeouts
🧱 This demonstrates a robust and efficient event-driven core capable of maintaining performance under extreme concurrency.
| Use Case | Recommended Server | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Static content hosting | 🌀 NGINX | Best raw throughput, mature ecosystem |
| AI-driven or dynamic APIs | ⚡ NeuroHTTP | Predictable latency, heavier payloads |
| Realtime inference / streaming | ⚡ NeuroHTTP | Consistent low-latency behavior |
| High-volume small requests | 🌀 NGINX | Optimized event loop and kernel tuning |
| Hybrid deployment | 🧠 Both | NGINX as reverse proxy + NeuroHTTP for AI routes |
Below are the live screenshots from the actual benchmark runs.
- NGINX remains the undisputed leader in raw throughput and static delivery.
- NeuroHTTP, however, proves its strength in stability, efficiency, and data transfer at high concurrency.
- Considering it’s a new project in early alpha, written in C + Assembly, the consistency and scaling are exceptional.
🧠 NeuroHTTP is not competing to replace NGINX — it complements it, forming a next-gen AI web stack combining raw speed with intelligent adaptability.
